We forecast the ability of future CMB and galaxy lensing surveys to constrain variations of the fine structure constant. We found that lensing data, as those expected from satellite experiments as Euclid could improve the constraint from…
In this work, we perform observational data analysis on Einsteinian cubic gravity and $f(P)$ gravity to constrain the parameter space of the theories. We use the 30-point $z-H(z)$ cosmic chronometer data as the observational tool for our…
Recent observations of high-redshift Type Ia supernovae have placed stringent constraints on the cosmological constant $\Lambda$. We explore the implications of these SNe observations for cosmological models in which a classically evolving…
We study observational constraints on the cosmographic functions up to the fourth derivative of the scale factor with respect to cosmic time, i.e., the so-called snap function, using the non-parametric method of Gaussian Processes. As…
In this thesis, I analyse the 2D anisotropic Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) signal present in the final WiggleZ dataset. I utilise newly released covariance matrices from the WizCOLA simulations and follow well tested methodologies used…
Cosmographic approach, a Taylor expansion of the Hubble function, has been used as a model-independent method to investigate the evolution of the universe in the presence of cosmological data. Apart from possible technical problems like the…

The Hubble constant $H_0$ tension has emerged as the most serious crisis in modern cosmology, potentially indicating that the $\Lambda$CDM model may not describe our universe accurately. In this paper, we establish a new,…
We investigate the imprints of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle on cosmological scales by using redshift-space distortion measurements in combination with background cosmological data to determine constraints on the deformation…
In this paper we present cosmological constraints on several well-known $f(R)$ models, but also on a new class of models that are variants of the Hu-Sawicki one of the form $f(R)=R-\frac{2\Lambda}{1+b\;y(R,\Lambda)}$, that interpolate…
We combine information on cosmological parameters from cluster abundances, CMB primordial anisotropies and the IRAS 1.2 Jy galaxy redshift survey. We take as free parameters the present values of the total matter density of the universe,…

The observational data on the large scale structure (LSS) of the Universe are used to determine cosmological parameters within the class of adiabatic inflationary models. We show that a mixed dark matter model with cosmological constant…

We use observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies, supernova luminosities and the baryon acoustic oscillation signal in the galaxy distribution to constrain the cosmological parameters in a simple interacting dark energy model…
